rewrote section to avoid copyright violation

The following passage appears to have been copy-and-pasted from the NARSAD website. (The word "our" tipped me off.)

To avoid any possible conflict of interest or influence, pharmaceutical monies are never used to fund NARSAD’s research grants but have been used to support educational activities, such as underwriting the costs of our public symposia.

To resolve this copyright violation, I reworded it as follows:

NARSAD receives contributions from a number of pharmaceutical companies. The organization states on its website that such contributions are not used to fund research grants in order to avoid undue influence or conflict of interest. Instead, support from pharmaceutical companies is used to fund educational activities including symposia.

General research on PTSD without references

I removed the below paragraph from the PTSD research section, because it doesn't discuss any specific, recent research studies or contain any references. It seems out of place in this article:

"Research has uncovered a significant rise in post traumatic stress disorder in the United States in the last few decades. Partly because anxiety disorder is still not fully understood like many other forms of mental illness. It is clear that some individuals are more susceptible than others. This means it will likely be incurable. However, the Obama administration have fostered initiatives to improve the focus on supporting the America's brave through reformed treatment practices to mitigate the onset of PTSD. The Department of Defense is exhibiting a concerted effort to refine military combat training by adopting technology to help improve soldier responses and strengthen resilience to the trauma of wartime experiences. Additionally, there has been a substantial emphasis on educating the public, military personnel and their families on the reality of PTSD, how to recognize symptoms and how to address and improve the situation upon onset. In short, the U.S. has waged another war on mental illness."

Request edit on 17 January 2023

• What I think should be changed: In the second paragraph, request to change "group of 188" to "group of 187" and "200 Young Investigator grants were made in 2019" to "150 Young Investigator grants were made in 2022"

In the third paragraph, request to change "calendar year 2019, BBRF has awarded over $418 million [5] to fund more than 5,900 grants to more than 4,800 scientists around the world." to "calendar year 2022, BBRF has awarded over $440 million [5] to fund more than 6,400 grants to more than 5,300 scientists around the world."

• Why it should be changed: Staff at BBRF are requesting this change to reflect updated stats/dates on their website.
• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
